Would love to crash this party! Question: How do we find where you weigh in each week? Is this a group?

Where is the "Like" button for this?

Starting Weight (1/1/16): 202.4 Week 1 (1/3/16): 201.4 Total Loss: 1 Lb. Goal Weight (3/1/16): 185 lol Okay - so losing a pound in 2 days is probably water weight. I don't care - it's making me feel empowered and strong and happy to be here! I'll take that! And in case I forgot to say it earlier, thank you Sarah for…

Hi all - I'm Michelle. I've been on and off MFP for a couple of years. The first time through was amazing and I stayed very on course, and lost 88 pounds in 10 months. Some medical issues intervened and I found myself back up about 65 pounds, so I have tons and tons to lose. But I know from personal experience that if I…

Hi Sarah!! Looks like we're back at it... Or in your case, STILL at it. I felt HORRIBLE for crashing and burning last time, and then dropping out of sight... It's so so good to be back doing this again with someone I kind of know! ;)

Hi - I'm Michelle. 61, retired, and needing to stick to this. We're planning a looong trip overseas for the month of March, and frankly, I just want to make sure that I don't have issues with the seat belts on the planes. And then, of course, when we get back, I'll need to get rid of what I've gained overseas. So this…

Okay, lol deep breath. You know that you're building muscle and muscle is heavier than fat even though it takes up less room. So there's that. And you know that when you're just working up to a pace, like you are with your running, that sore muscles tend to hold extra water. So there's that too. And there's the fact that…

SW - 205.6 Week 1 - 202.2 Week 2 - 199.2 Week 3 - 198.4 Week 4 - 195.6 Week 5 - 194.8 Week 6 - 192.2 Week's Loss: 2.6 Total Loss: 13.4 Had a great week and feel really motivated! I know Thanksgiving will be tough - holidays always are - but I'm gonna try and make up for it with extra exercise and maybe a little less eating…

SW - 205.6 Week 1 - 202.2 Week 2 - 199.2 Week 3 - 198.4 Week 4 - 195.6 Week 5 - 194.8 Week's Loss: 0.8 Total Loss: 10.8 Had a rough week (and in fact, was UP for most of it), so any loss at all feels like a win. And looking at the big picture, I'm still going in the right direction. About 6 more weeks to loss that 9.2…

No need to feel silly. This is exactly the right place to let it all out - and I think many of us have experienced that sick let-down feeling of the single line (granted, I remember from a billion years ago, but my memory still works). It's not pathetic, it's not silly, and I adore your friend who took you out to let you…

SW - 205.6 Week 1 - 202.2 Week 2 - 199.2 Week 3 - 198.4 Week 4 - 195.6 Week's Loss: 2.8 Total Loss: 10.0 10 pounds in 4 weeks! woohoo! I am SO excited over this! And from the looks of the posts above me, EVERYONE is doing a terrific job. WE ROCK!!

:) That's my intent. I'm just using this as something of a confessional. But I definitely don't plan on stumbling again. I have to say - I really appreciate your encouragement and support. You're the kind of person that makes this type of group so successful. Thanks!

This one is easy - at 63 ounces per day, that's only 8 cups. I normally drink between 9-11. :)

I typically simply eat a Quest bar and a Dannon Lite & Fit Greek yogurt every morning. It's a quick way to get some protein and fiber without having to really think about it.

I'm also only going to log as it pertains to this challenge. I'm simply shooting for the 20 pounds by 2016. SW - 205.6 Week #1 - 202.2 Loss: 3.4 It wasn't a full week for me - only 5 days, so numbers are not quite as high as I'd hoped. On the other hand, I'm well aware that the majority of loss this week is water weight.…

Wow - everyone else has great goals! Mine seems so silly, but here it is: I want my lower back to quit aching from having to support all the excess belly fat/flab when I stand for while. lol

Hi all! I'm Michelle, 61, married and retired. I used MFP a couple of years ago - very successfully! - and lost 72 pounds! woohoo! And guess what? It's ALLLL back. *sigh* So - here we go. Back at it, and this time, no "relaxing" when I hit my goal. I can't view this as short-term. It's life-term. Last time through, I…

Welcome! I'm 60 and know what you're talking about. I also have a thyroid problem to boot, so yes, it can take longer to drop the pounds. The medical issues can get in the way of exercising but the people on this site are normally pretty good at suggesting non-impact methods. Besides, it helps lots when you get constant…

5'3" - Goal weight is 135. I have a long, long way to go... But I'm determined to get there!

Wow - sounds like we all have the same story. I lost 87 lbs on MFP during 2013 and gained back over 60 during 2014. So I'm back on the MFP program and planning on this being the LAST do-over. Done with do-overs! Everyone is welcome to add me! :)

I'm also 5'3" and started at 228 (213 on MFP). Currently at 148.8. You can DO this!! Feel free to add me - and good luck! :)

My nutritionist recommended Good Greens bars. They include 10g protein, 5g fiber AND 100% OF YOUR DAILY REQUIRED VEGETABLES AND FRUITS. And they taste amazing as well. :) I particularly love the pumpkin spice, apple crumb and chocolate raspberry flavors.

59 in about 6 weeks. Also retired. Friend request sent. Will have my husband send a friend request as well. We're all in this together! :)
